The dedication of supporters of Sen. Barack Obama is something to ponder.
To all those who think Obama's young supporters won't show up on Election Day, I say, think again.
I made it to Adams Field on the campus of Michigan State University around 11:30 a.m. Thursday (Oct. 2, 2008) and the line to get into the field stretched for blocks and blocks down Circle Drive. By the time I got to my spot around noon, thousands of people already were pressed up against the fence around the stage. Some had begun waiting in line at 8:30. It was chilly and breezy. It was crowded. There was no place to sit. And they waited three hours more after I got there for Obama's scheduled speech.
That's pretty impressive. That's dedication. That, to me, means they'll make it to the polls on Nov. 4.
